It has been 5 1/2 months since my life changing surgery and I could not be happier with my decision to get this done. This month I got on a plane for the first time since my surgery. What used to be a chore and something I dreaded was actually quite nice!! I ended up sitting in the middle seat, which used to drive me nuts because my stomach fat would always hang over both sides :(  Not this time!!! I had ample room on either side of me! I could cross my legs, bring the tray table all the way down towards me!! I teared up a little bit! I went to Disneyland with my sister and it felt like everything had gotten bigger because I could fit comfortably in every ride! I was able to walk the entire day! We were there for 11 hours!! Of course I was tired, because thats a long day in the sun, but I would never have been able to hang for that long!
I think one of my favorite things on this trip was going shopping with my stepmom. We always used to go shopping for shoes and clothes...however when it came to clothes shopping I would just stand there waiting for her to try things on. This time I tried on a ton of clothes and bought them...because they fit and looked great!!!!
The last thing was my sister and I went on a hike yesterday up to the Hollywood Sign!!! I had always wanted to try it but was so intimidated because of my size. So we decided to give it a try and it was great!!! Such a great feeling to stand on at the very top of the mountain with the Hollywood sign below me!

I havent weighed myself in 2 weeks...which is a big step for me, I was weighing myself every single morning, which I don't believe is a very healthy thing to do but I just couldn't help myself! I'll weigh myself when I get back home tomorrow...but I'm feeling great and healthy and full of life!!! I'm happy with that

So December has been an interesting month. It was my 3rd month post op. And just like many others I had a stall. Very frustrating to only loose 5lbs so far the entire month when I have lost so much the first 2 months. I have increased my protien, water and changed up my exercise regimine. The past week I started loosing again a pound every other day. I am hopeful that it continues! I have 48lbs to hit my goal. I have a feeling that this last 48lbs is gonna be the hardest to loose! I'm still incredibly happy with the results my friends and family always tell me what a skinny bitch I am now. Which is funny to me since I still see the fat woman I have always been. I can only see my weight loss in pictures. I'm sure my brain will catch up! One of the biggest things for me is that my BMI is now Overweight instead of Obese! That is huge! I am so excited to see what this New Year has in store for me!

As it is a day of Thanks! I figured it would be a great time to say all that I am thankful for :) This has been an incredible 3 months! I have gone on this amazing journey that has made me thankful every day!!!! 13 weeks and I have gone from 257 to 187. 13 weeks and I have never felt more confident, sexy, healthy...and sore (thanks to my personal trainer!) in my life! I still can't see my weight loss in the mirror however I can in my pictures that I have posted. I am thankful for my husband who has been an amazing rock for me during this and who I am happy to report will be having his surgery (Gastric Sleeve) on November 30th!!! Now I can be his rock :) I am thankful to my friends for their encouragement and their unending support. Finally I am Thankful for this second lease on life.
Happy Thanksgiving to you all! I know that this can be a challenging time for all of us with the crazy amounts of food, but we can do this!!!

It's been a while since I wrote. I'm just not a blog type of person! However I'm sick and have nothing else to do so why not?!

Today is my 7 week anniversary. I am doing incredibly well! At my last Doctors appointment he said that I'm doing much better then most people. My weight loss is ahead of the curve and I have no pain at all! After that first week I really had no pain, just the gas from all the protein junk! I'm onto solid foods now which has been harder then I thought, just for the simple fact that I can't eat more then a little bit at a time. So much for eating a well rounded meal. I can not eat Breads at all. My stomache just can not handle it an I throw up (Sorry TMI) . I do get hungry now but not a ton, usually after performing in my show, so late nights! Which I don't want to eat that late so I need to figure that out. I started working out and go to the gym about 4 times a weeks. Along with working with a personal trainer I'm taking Zumba and other cardio classes.

I'm pleased with my progress but have miles to go before I reach the end goal!!!
